My dad is my hero. Actually he is a hero to all Americans, one of thousands veterans in the United States. When his mind started to fail and his steps slowed down last year, the toll was hard on him, our family, but most significantly on my mom. Also in her late 70s and half the size of my father, she became the primary caregiver ensuring he took his medicine, got showered and ready every morning and assuring his life continued to move forward.
It wasn't long before everything took a toll on her too. Ending up in the hospital. The experience is why my family decided to start Generations Club. We want to become the leading provider of adult daycare and senior services, offering daytime care that is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. What sets Generations Club apart is our unwavering commitment to providing top-quality care and support to seniors and their families. The compassionate and professional staff at Generations Club are dedicated to truly making a positive impact on the lives of those they serve, especially those who served. At Generations Club, we understand that each senior is unique, with their own set of strengths, challenges, and preferences. That's why we take a personalized approach to care, ensuring that each individual receives the support and attention they need to thrive.
Whether it's engaging in enriching activities, receiving assistance with daily tasks, or simply enjoying the company of others, seniors at Generations Club can count on compassionate and skilled care at every turn.

I don't know where to start. Reading the testimonial and the goal of Generations Club made me wish, so much, that it was opened 3 or 4 years earlier. It made me think how much my husband could have benefited from it, especially the Legends Music Hall.
My husband, Air Force SGT E4 Vietnam Veteran, Larry Michael Ludwig, was my best friend, my husband, my partner, my lover, my soulmate and the love of my life! And always will be! We met later in our lives and just "clicked" from the moment we met. We had the most wonderful 34 years together, filled with fun times, laughter and music, always music! Larry was a self-taught pianist, guitarist, bassist, drummer, you name it he could play it. He was an extremely talented musician, either reading sheet music and playing Beethoven or just playing by ear. He could hear a song and jump up and in less than a minute he'd be playing along. It was AWESOME to watch. But Larry played for his love of music and seeing the smiles and happiness it put on other people's faces. Music was not only Larry's passion, but it was also his "happy place", his "Go To" place, to forget bad days or rejoice in happy times. He played music for the sheer excitement and joy of the music itself and also to calm and center himself when needed.
I feel Larry was taken from me way to young, 74 years old, due to exposure of Agent Orange in Thailand during Vietnam. However, we do not get to choose when it is our time. The saddest thing to me is that between arthritis in his fingers, what the cancer was doing to his body and the beginnings of dementia, he was no longer able to play his guitars, and he had 5. And it all took it's toll on me just as it did your mother.
I had a surprise 74th birthday party for him and hired a guitarist to play his favorite music and because Larry could STILL AT 74, play by ear, it was the first time in 2 years that Larry was so excited he actually got up, went to his old keyboard and started playing along with the guitarist. I'LL NEVER FORGET THE SMILE ON HIS FACE OR HIM! LARRY WILL ALWAYS BE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!
I think it is a wonderful thing you are doing by opening Generations Club, and Larry and I both are more than happy to have his keyboard for other's to enjoy!
Thank You for letting me share!
